How Rare Are Coelacanths exacly?

[Mayor Jamal]

Cause I caught like 4 last night, I was actually looking for tuna and oarfish to sell at retail so that I could have some money to use at the dream suite, I pulled up a tuna at first but then right after I caught a Coelacanth and I was like "Oh cool, I already have on in the museum so I guess I could keep it in my basement", then I pulled up another one "Oh...thats...odd" then another one "WTF!? this is my 3rd one how many of these am I gonna catch!?" then I pulled up...a tuna, then an Oarfish...THEN ANOTHER COELACANTH! "OMG! Where is this luck when I'm trying to catch beetles and sharks on the island!?"

They aren't really that rare. It was just snowing, so eh, they were there to be caught.

Oh, cause from the stories I heard I thought my luck had reached BS levels of high temporarily.

They aren't that rare - the thing that makes them 'rare' is that the timing is so exact because it needs to be raining/snowing at past 4pm (or something like that)

Not rare at all in this game. And easier to catch.

Rare enough for me to have never caught one yet, apparently. aha
